An waver means to move back and forth or to have doubts about what to do. You can also waver at something, like a sound that's not steady.
When someone says they're wavering on an important decision, it usually means they're having trouble making up their mind. They might be weighing the pros and cons, and are unsure which way to go. For example, if you've been planning a trip for months but just got a new job offer in a different city, you might start to waver about whether to take the job or stick with your original plans. You could also say that someone's opinions on an issue waver if they're not strong and consistent - like if one day they think something is good, and the next day they think it's bad.
